Can I do my own title and lien search?

Hello BP family,

I am a little wet behind the ears therefore I have an amateur question. 

Can I do my own title and/or lien search before the wholesale contracts go to the title company? 

My concern is getting a property under contract and finding an investor-buyer, only to find out that there are liens or title issues. Would these issues likely kill a deal?
